Hello friends, and welcome to the most secret... most magical place... on the entire internet. You are welcome here... to sit and listen to a little whisper of the infinite possibilities that live within YOUR HEART at all times. Who you are matters, and you have so much to bring to the world -- never forget that!
You were born on this planet
Only one of you exists
You matter so much
You have so many gifts
Not one person alive
Sees the universe like you
There's not much I know
But this much is true
Who you are is important
Your dreams are not silly
So keep walking that path
Even when it gets hilly
Each up and each down
A lesson you learn
A new opportunity exists
Around every single turn
Don't let go of ideas
They are meant to stay alive
As you nurture them with love
They start to thrive
And what starts as a glimmer
Will burn as a spark
And the light in your soul
Will brighten the dark
The more glimmers that rise
The more light we will see
The more people will bring
Their unique creativity
A ripple in a pond
It starts very small
But soon all that joy
Is shared with the all
It only takes a single
Person who decides to decide
That they won't live small anymore
That they weren't meant to hide
And as that blossoming happens
A flower so rare
The beauty, unimaginable
Extending infinite care
To all who are part
Of this cosmic river above
And we keep flowing on
Powered by that infinite love.

Thank you for bringing this to us. The beautiful poem, the magical music, and your generous energy all radiate into the universe to us to find.
I am grateful for the beauty of nature that surrounds us and the joy it brings during hiking and camping adventures. The fresh air, the peacefulness of the wilderness, and the opportunity to disconnect from the busyness of everyday life are all things to be thankful for. It’s during these moments that we can truly appreciate the wonders of the natural world and find solace in its embrace.
Remember, in life’s journey, sometimes we stumble upon obstacles, but it is in those moments that we find our strength and resilience. Just like nature, we have the power to heal and grow. So, let’s embrace the challenges, learn from them, and allow ourselves to bloom into the best version of ourselves.
As for the pee references, well, let’s just say that sometimes even the little things can bring a sense of relief and satisfaction. So, let nature’s call be a reminder to appreciate the simple pleasures in life and find gratitude in even the most seemingly mundane moments.
Keep exploring, keep growing, and keep finding joy in the journey.
The healing that the outdoors offers. Newly postpartum and getting outside every day helps mentally and physically more than anything else.
Every day is a gift. Sometimes all it takes is a smile to change someone’s day. Smile a lot and share the good.
A marketing ploy? Surely they must be taking the piss, as a British hiking maven may say. Don’t be intimidated by our well hydrated, champagne hued tinkle taking, outdoor loving clan of beautiful people. We are young, we are old, we are motivated. Our stories are a tapestry of moments woven with positivity, self love, and the realizations that only outdoor adventures can provide. People armed with strong voices and antimicrobial pee cloths are taking over the (outdoor) world. Stay strong my fellow aficionados, and fly your kula flag proudly!
